Advantage of Acrylic Mirrors
Acrylic mirrors are 17 times stronger than glass, making them highly resistant to impacts and extremely difficult to shatter. Acrylic mirrors also have the advantage of being lighter than traditional glass mirrors, making them much easier to transport and install.
Encourages Visual Tracking
Many people with sensory processing disorders find visually tracking objects challenging, which can lead to poor hand-eye coordination and difficulty with reading comprehension. Mirrors are a great way to improve visual tracking skills because they increase the amount of visual information received by the brain during a variety of occupational therapy exercises.
Ideal for Sensory Rooms
Using mirrors alongside other sensory equipment is a great way to create exciting visual effects and help create a stimulating, interactive experience that captures peoples attention and imagination. They're also a great way to make the sensory room feel more spacious, which can be particularly helpful if you're designing a sensory room on a budget.
Improves Facial Expression Recognition
Mirroring body language has been shown to help children with autism increase their ability to understand the link between facial expressions and emotions. Many people with autism find it difficult to understand how to express themselves non-verbally without the aid of visual feedback, and mirrors can be instrumental helping to increase awareness and understanding of social cues.
Scratches Are Easy to Repair
When a glass mirror gets scratched, it's extremely difficult to restore the surface of the mirror. With acrylic this isn't the case, as you can actually use a small amount of acrylic polish to fix the scratch, making acrylic mirrors a great choice for interactive sensory rooms.
Simple to Install
Thanks to the inclusion of wall fixing screws with your purchase and the lightweight nature of acrylic, this mirror is simple and easy to install. The wall mounting screws also have the advantage of preventing the mirror from falling, further improving safety.
